Turks and Caicos Islands: 5 Day Forecast

Ahoy from Mudjin Harbour in Middle Caicos, Boaby Rock Point in Grand Turk, and Grace Bay in Providenciales. Today in Mudjin Harbour the sun rises at 06:34 AM and sets at 06:56 PM, with the moon only 2% lit. With clearer skies early this evening before clouds thicken later, there may be a fair chance for a bit of stargazing, and low in the west after sunset ye may spot bright Venus if the horizon stays clear.

Friday brings fine boating weather overall, though the trades stay fresh. Across the islands, dawn starts warm near 82 to 84 F, with humidity around 79 to 84 percent, and with the humidity it will feel like 88 to 94 F. Seas run 4 to 5 feet early, easing a touch to 3 to 4 feet late around Grace Bay while Mudjin and Grand Turk stay choppier near 4 to 5 feet. Winds blow mostly E to SE at 15 to 20 Miles Per Hour. Light passing showers may drift by overnight and early morning, but most of the day looks bright with low cloud cover through midday, then clouds build for the dinner hours, especially by Mudjin and Grand Turk. Afternoon temperatures reach 85 to 88 F, and with the humidity it will feel like 96 to 104 F, hottest in Mudjin Harbour. For beach crews and open air dining, late afternoon and sunset stay warm and breezy with just a small shower risk; Grand Turk runs windier than the average, while Mudjin runs a bit hotter and rougher than Grace Bay.

Around sunrise, temperatures sit near 84 to 85 F in Grand Turk and Grace Bay and 83 to 84 F in Mudjin, with humidity mostly 71 to 80 percent, and with the humidity it will feel like 89 to 95 F.
